Bath resealing in Newtown, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and leaks at the edges, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath resealing in Newtown

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Newtown?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Newtown clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

When to call us in Newtown

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Newtown

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newtown

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE65 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
